Join Me for SAP BOBJ SaaS Universes at SABOUC

Join Sumit Sarkar at the ASUG SAP Analytics and BusinessObjects Conference next week for his session on real-time cloud connectivity from SAP BusinessObjects SaaS Universes.

My job has me on the road a lot, meeting with developers and decision makers about all the great new things happening in the world of data connectivity. Recently, this has meant spreading the word about SAP data connectivity for business intelligence.

Next Stop, Better BI

My next stop will be next week at the ASUG SAP Analytics and BusinessObjects Conference in Austin, Texas. While there, I’ll be hosting a session covering real-time connectivity from SAP BusinessObjects Universes to cloud data sources, including:

Salesforce

Oracle Marketing Cloud (Eloqua)

Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow)

Marketo

Google Analytics

Netsuite

ServiceNow

Veeva CRM

Amazon Redshift

SQL Server Azure

The discussion will include best practices, common “gotchas” and how to leverage existing skills and infrastructure to consume cloud data and establish your group as thought leaders and experts on disruptive technology.

Architecture of a SAP BusinessObjects Cloud Universe

Part of the session will also cover connectivity using Progress DataDirect ODBC and JDBC connectors. Progress Data Direct is the trusted name for data connectivity across relational, Big Data, NewSQL and cloud data sources, and our connectors are already embedded in popular SAP Business Intelligence tools, as well as being available commercially.
